Mental health awareness increases the chances for early intervention, which can result in a fast recovery. Self–awareness is a form of stepping back and observing your thoughts and feelings as they unfold. Or it can be a more complex, layered awareness of how your thoughts feed into your emotions, physical sensations and behaviors. Exercise and goals help with the releasing ” good feel ” endorphins, with a good tribe around you it helps resolve any negative thoughts..

I had a few weeks off in-between jobs, and although I was going to the gym, i was finding a lot of my time was being spent on the sofa, hiding from the cold and miserable UK weather, and well, just not being particularly productive. I decided it was time to escape on a last minute trip to get me out of my sluggish mood. Having looked around at a few other places, I found Lamai fitness. I contacted Billy on the Friday, who was super responsive and accommodating meaning I was booked and on my way by Sunday. I did 10 days in total and genuinely would have loved to stay longer. Over the course of my program my fitness levels improved dramatically with the added bonus of losing 3kg. All of the Lamai team are great, big shout out to Billy who was key to keeping everyone motivated and happy. With sessions in the morning and evening you have the day to enjoy the sunshine and the island which really suited me and meant you didn’t burn out. I came on my own and had no problem meeting lots of great people, varying in age and nationality. Definitely planning on coming back when I need another retox. Thanks again.
Last years money raised for the Children’s unit in Koh Samui hospital was a great help and appreciated so much by the children’s ward and kindergarten ! A huge thanks to everyone who gave their time and donations to help us help the local community. Every year we have decide to run an event all charity donations go direct to the hospital and Dr Rapheephan (shown in picture) who splits the costs throughout the department.
After speaking to Dr Rapheephan from the clinic she has told us of the new air conditioning they are installing. So we have decided to keep with the same charity The Children’s Special Needs Ward in Nathon, Koh Samui and hopefully with your support and our teams dedication of months of training we are able to help year after year.
Every year there are a few 5k and 10k charity runs on Koh Samui and we all join in the fun for a good cause. Clients are always welcome and mostly after a few weeks training cant believe there results.
Leanne’s visit was well deserved after a few years of work stress which lead to a bad lifestyle with food and wine. Leanne’s positive attitude helped her get amazing results with a complete body change and 15 kg weight loss in 6 weeks. Swimming Hiking Jogging Strength & Conditioning Classes and Yoga was just the tip of Leanne’s amazing achievements – she now jogs 21 k in under two hours and cooks for herself using all the right clean ingredients to fuel her body for work. Staying in the apartment with it’s own kitchen we showed her how to cook and with visits to the local markets she soon knew what to buy – this helped a lot and she was amazed by how good clean food could taste. After a few shaky starts her strength and conditioning has come on great giving her the body she wanted back – she now has all the tools and education to continue with her next goal the 21 k Cambodia Marathon in November.

Lamai Beach is Samui’s second-largest beach. It is quieter than the rest of Koh Samui beaches with amazingly flat and clear ocean for 10 months of the year. The southern third of the beach has the widest strip of sand, is the best for swimming. Our daily classes are 2 minutes from the resort and most mornings one of our groups will be down the beach waiting for the sun to rise. 2021 we take our menu onto the beach with a chilled vibe, so you can chill all day and not move far from the sun lounges between sessions. We also spend time in the crystal waters, power walking waist height – a great recovery session for sore muscles and injuries and early morning swimming lessons and long distance swims.

Hannah has visited us a few times over the last few years starting of with weight loss and now pushing onto the running club and fitness packages. A great friend to all our team and with her amazing determination she took on one of the hardest events this year with the Lamai Fitness Team – read how she took on one of our biggest events of the year. Hannah’s first day was a shock to her, she struggled with the first viewpoint ‘ overlap stone’ – she pushed through and never gave up each day stepping it up and never missing a session – within a few weeks she completed an Ironman in 5 days – swimming, biking and running and was now ready to sign up for the 50 k North Face Trial Run. Her preparation was amazing following the program and listening when to rest and when to push – she was fresh going into the race and smashed the event getting stronger throughout the mileage – her best times were in the last 10 k getting an amazing 4th place in the female division, a very impressive run and an outstanding performance. Well done Hannah cant wait to have you back for the next team event.
Always the most common questions when people arrive. The formula for weight loss is simple: you must burn more calories than you consume. However, those looking to lose weight often find themselves unsure where to start – with so many forms of exercise out there, it’s hard to choose.
Running, cycling and swimming are the three most popular choices of cardiovascular exercise, and ones we preach here on Koh Samui. They are in fact all the same fat burners and depending on body, build, age and fitness they will all do the same. with the right program.
